The number lessons will only be posted in romaji for now. Later on, I will start using Kanji, and then Hiaraga and such...
1 Ichi
2 Ni
3 San
4 Shi/Yon*
5 Go
6 Roku
7 Shichi
8 Hachi
9 Kyu
10 Ju
*Shi means 'death' or something like that... so that is why we will be using Yon sometimes...
Now, to go above 10, you would simply do this:
11 Juichi
12 Juni
13 Jusan
14 Juyon
15 Jugo
16 Juroku
17 Jushichi
18 Juhachi
19 Jukyu
it is basically like saying "ten one, ten two, ten three..."
for the twenties, you will want to do this:
20 Niju
21 Nijuichi
22 Nijuni
23 Nijusan
24 Nijuyon
25 Nijugo
etc...
you would do it like that with the remaining numbers until you reached 99...
post here if you would like me to continue on to counting abouve 100...

Because shi means death, 7 is often read as nana =3 so it would go ichi, ni, san, yon, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, juu. And also Juunana, Nijuunana, Nanajuu, and so on and so forth =3 same deal with yon

And I thought it was easy to count in German. That's almost too easy. How does it go once you reach 100?

Aikachi 100 is hyaku, 200 is nihyaku, 222 is nihyakunijuuni =3 so on and so forth =3 fun stuff aint it? =3
100- hyaku he-ya-ku
200- nihyaku ni-he-ya-ku
300- sanbyaku san-be-ya-ku
400- yonhyaku yo-n-he-ya-ku
500- gohyaku go-he-ya-ku
600- ro*pyaku ro--pe-ya-ku
700- nanahyaku na-na-he-ya-ku
800- ha*pyaku ha--pe-ya-ku
900- kyuuhyaku keyuu-he-ya-ku
1000- sen sen
the *'s meant that the sound is cut short, and the next syllable is delayed.
Think of it as someone stoping a tape or a CD for a second when they are saying a word. so the word just kind of cuts off, then contuines.

It's still relatively easy. Much easier than French. I've studied quite a few languages (I'm a nerd, what can I say) and counting in Japanese is one of the easiest counting systems I've come across thus far. Thanks for the info. smile

Thank you for writing that down. If completely slipped my mind.
(plus I'm having a hard time writing in Hiragana on my computer)

Wow, numbers are fairly easy with the exception of the different words for certain numbers. Are you wrong if you use one or the other (like is one for just a certain situation)? Well, still, I might say that Spanish is a little easier or just as easy, since it basically follows the same pattern with exception of the 10's.

yon and nana are used when you are saying the number
so 547 would be gohyaku yon jyuu nana.
but when you are counting its ichi ni san shi go roku shichi hachi...ect.
It doesnt really matter which you use from the way that they are used in my Japanese classes. but yea.
